Indeed, keeping the series as one thread is better. Apart from a
slightly less misleading subject, I suggest Hanjun that he passes each
patch via get_maintainer.pl and adds the corresponding Cc: lines to the
commit log. I think that's a clearer way keep track of who needs to
ack/review the patches.
